We performed a comparison between Snowflake and Teradata IntelliFlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its performance is most valuable. As compared to SQL Server, we are able to see a significant improvement in performance with Snowflake."
"The adaptation to development languages is most valuable. Our developers can SQL code or something else. It has been convenient in that regard."
"I like the ability to work with a managed service on the cloud and that is easy to start with."
"It helped us to build MVP (minimum viable product) for our idea of building a data warehouse model for small businesses."
"The syntax is advanced which reduces the time to write code."
"Snowflake is faster than on-premise systems and allows for variable compute power based on need."
"The best thing about Snowflake is its flexibility in changing warehouse sizes or computational power."
"My company wanted to have all our data in one single place and this what we use Snowflake for. Snowflake also allows us to build connectors to different data sources."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"If we can have a feature where the results can be moved to different tabs, so that I can compare the results with earlier queries before applying the changes, it would be great."
"To ensure the proper functioning of Snowflake as an MDS, it relies heavily on other partner tools."
"From the documentation, the black box is not very descriptive. Snowflake does not reveal how exactly the data is processed or sourced."
"It would benefit from an administration that allows you to be aware of your credit consumption once you have the service so that you may be sure how many credits you are consuming when you use the platform and to make sure that you are making the most efficient use of these resources. In other words, to improve their interface so that you may monitor the consumption of your credits on Cloud."
"The pricing of the solution should be much easier to calculate or find by yourself."
"Snowflake has to improve their spatial parts since it doesn't have much in terms of geo-spatial queries."
"Their UiPath, the workspace area, needs some work."
"The solution needs more connectors."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
